This crossbow will deliver an arrow on target very quickly if you do your part. Do you believe you lost deer because the arrow was not fast enough or accurate enough ? Hitting the vitals of a deer with a good broadhead should be all that is required. Shooting a crossbow is not like shooting a gun. You need to practice lots, and only take shots that you feel 100% confident in. I hunt with this crossbow as an upgrade to a Horton 150. I'll shoot 50 yards on the target range, but only about 25 yards in the field.

I don't know that I would call the Arrow Precision the best crossbow out there but it has done everything I need a crossbow to do unquestionably.

Haven't really searched for the info you want, but all I can say is that my SLS Crossbow was definitely not 630.00 and it is the one that shoots 366 feet per second. I couldn't be more pleased with the one I have. It is a killing machine out to the maximum distance I want to shoot, which is 50 yards. I only hunt White Tail Deer with it on a lease in Kentucky. The only thing that could be improved on it would be less weight in the future models, since it is a heavy bow to carry around, but I also think that the heaver the bow, probably like a well built heavy rifle, makes it more accurate. This bow will do the job for you and put the meat on the table and the heads on the wall, if you so desire. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to purchase a decent priced, quality built bow. Killer Cotton

I personally wouldn't want to be up in my treestand worrying about a deer shooting at me with this bow..So for the love of God I hope it wasn't engineered for deer to to be able to hunt with it..Besides, deer are foragers, they eat nuts and crops.. I've never seen a buck hunt anything but a doe and shooting her with a bow was the last thing on his mind..

Yes I have a Ten point crossbow. I got them for hog hunting in April and it went throught both ribs at 20 yards. Then last month I got a deer at 25 yards. They fly nice I recamend them. Hope this helps you.

For one thing, you get significantly better light gathering capability, extending your hunting time. A few years back, my daughter and I were deer hunting in a blind late one afternoon. I was using a cheaper scope on my 30-06 and she had my .308 with a recently purchased Leopold. It was getting late and I couldn't see well enough to take a good shot, so I told her it was time to go. She said "No Dad, I can see fine!" She handed me her rifle and I was amazed at the difference. After that, I have only bought Leopold scopes.

All crossbows have some what a loud release. I don't own or have but this 1 crossbow to compair . If your going to hunt it will not matter much due to the speed of the arrow.

i've never tried the burris. The Leopold is one of the best illuminated scopes i've ever seen I love the motion senser illumination. My Leopold is on an IWI Trevor a killer pure and simple. i draw this weapon, target is down, day or night. Come on, best NRA rifle and optics platform???

Ok so I don't have it stock anymore. I put a Leupold Crossbones on it instead of the luminated no brand that it came with. The other was fine I just have older eyes and prefer Leupold. I also installed limbsavers and updated to an Alpine quiver that holds 6 arrows instead of 3. All of that may or may not have added to its weight. Mine weighs in at 11.8 #. I bought the Primos trigger stick 2 and that solved the weight issue. Don't let the weight scare you away, this is an amazingly fast and accurate bow. I carry it with a threepoint AR-15 sling which hangs it in front and to my left side for quick target acquisition and so that I can watch my limbs and cables as I go through the brush.Hope this helped.

There is absolutely no warranty ON ANY HORTON CROSSBOW unless the company who bought Horton, which is Ten Point, decides someday to honor Horton's warranties. Currently they have stated they will not and have no intention to. There are currently some spare parts on the market, but that supply will dry up as time goes on unless someone decides to produce aftermarket parts. If you are looking for a Horton RDT (reverse limb technology) bow you will be FAR BETTER SERVED to buy a Havoc 175 or try to find a Vision 175. The Fury is a HIGH STRESS, HIGH MAINT. BOW and unless you get one made 2013 your odds of having issues is pretty high. The Havoc and Vision are pretty solid and dependable.

Honestly Andrew, I have not tried the Trophy XLT, but I can tell you this. The Banner will give you a better, up close and personal, view due to the power of the optics. I currently have 4 of these scopes mounted, and love them! Im a deer and varmint hunter, and they perform very well in rugged field use! I think you will definitely enjoy the Banner!!

Yes. Its my first crossbow and I love it. Excellent bow for the price. My friend has a Ten Point and he likes mine better.

I am in need of replacement arrows for this crossbow. I'd really like the arrows that originally came with this set because the replacement arrows sold on here don't work, they fall right out of the bow...they aren't designed the way the original arrows are designed. Please help??? Thank you!

Honestly look for wooden stock crossbows they are in the 50 to 75 dollar range and will last much longer. By stock I mean the part that rests against the shoulder. I have researched a couple I saw on amazon and they appear to be better quality there by making them less dangerous.

The crossbow is really good for the price. It's very accurate and shoots pretty good. Well built, easy to put together, and fits both left and right handed shooters. Overall great bow for starters.

I returned the scope. It was a well built Really nice scope but I put it on a barnett rc 150 and it WOULD NOT zero on my bow. My bow it hitting close to 300 fps and this scope should have worked I wish it would have because I really liked it. Maybe I just got a defective one.it was too close to deer season for me to keep messing with it so I just put my old scope back on and re zeroed it.
